The agriculture department plans a $150000 dining and conference room for Secretary George Knapp. The project aims to match dining facilities with counterparts in town and includes $35,000 more for remodeling offices on the fourth floor.

New Simplified Forms Aimed At Elderly Tax Help
The state Revenue Department released simplified forms to boost senior participation in the circuit breaker property tax credit program next year. Changes include no landlord signature for rent certification and a streamlined itemization with fewer categories, plus elimination of a separate form for landowners over five acres. The department has used less than half of the $13 million allotted due to low current participation.
